Approximately every 10 minutes.

Characteristics

  • This integration retrieves data including latitude, longitude, altitude, timestamp, device name, temperature, battery voltage and fix quality (PDOP).

Data Delivery

The time it takes for data to appear in your destination system depends on several factors, such as latency introduced by the source, network conditions, and intermediary systems. While these factors may vary, Gundi typically checks for available data at scheduled intervals (approximately every 5 minutes).

If data is not available in your system after this interval, please check the source of the data for its availability. If the issue persists, contact our Support team for assistance.
